"My initial reaction was extreme disappointment," said City Manager John Szerlag. "The image of an employee sleeping in a marked vehicle, is not in-line with the image we want to project."

Szerlag said he first saw the photo after it was posted online, and even though the worker was on an unpaid break at the time it's still a concern -- even though no policies exist banning sleeping on a break.

He hopes to change that, though.

"Regardless of whether an employee is on the clock or off the clock," Szerlag said, "if that person is in a marked vehicle, sleeping is prohibited."

Meanwhile, other taxpayers took both sides of the debate.

"I still don't like seeing him sleep in the car," said Marcia Fain. "I think you're representing the city that way and people don't know that you're on your break. You should be somewhere else if you're going to take a nap."

"On a lunch break, he's on his own time," said Rob Fein. "That's fine. Take a nap, be rested. Do better work later."
